And those rooms are filled with people who don’t typically listen to classical music. So ... what have they figured out?” Kronos Quartet artistic director, founder, and violinist David Harrington spoke with Power and tries to answer that question, among others. You can hear their conversation here.

    Sam Gendel's new album, COOKUP, is out now. On the album, Gendel and his friends and collaborators Gabe Noel and Philippe Melanson interpret R&B and soul hits originally released between 1992 and 2004 by Ginuwine, 112, Aaliyah, All-4-One, Soul 4 Real, Beyoncé, Joe, Erykah Badu, Mario, SWV, and Boyz II Men. Gendel says: "For this occasion we hovered over a particular flavor: jams that we grew up with. We sculpted in sound our collective memories of this music. Meshell Ndegeocello [featured on vocals on the track "Anywhere"] took the 112 to another dimension (shoutout wayne12)."

    Brad Mehldau has shared videos of him performing and discussing "Golden Slumbers" from his new album, Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles, at New York’s Village Vanguard. You can watch both here. It's the third and final in a series of such videos from the album, following the title track performance and discussion and his "I Am the Walrus" performance and discussion. “'Golden Slumbers,’ certainly ‘Hey Jude,’ ‘Let It Be’ are songs that, for me, feel like ... something church like. Maybe it has something to do with the cadences that are in there. They’re just so righteous,” Mehldau says. “For me, it has a healing quality.”
